Let all things be done decently and in order.  1 Corinthians 14:40

Global Vision is an Independent Baptist Church.  We are Baptist in our position, but not in our denomination.  As Independent, we are free of denominational ties, convention politics and interference from groups, fellowships and “camps” outside of our local church body.  We are a self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating body of saved, baptized believers.

We Believe the Bible is the perfect Word of God. It is without error from beginning to end. God has preserved His Bible in many languages and it is exactly accurate in the King James Version for all English speaking people. We do not trust in visions, dreams or tongues. The Bible is our sole Authority for faith and practice.

We believe that salvation is provided by Jesus Christ and Him alone. It is through his death, burial and resurrection that men are saved from sin. It is the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin. Works and religion cannot save in anyway. The gospel is the power of God unto Salvation. Furthermore, we believe that Christ died for all men and upon the conviction of the Holy Spirit, the repentance of the heart and the confession of the mouth men are Born-Again of God's Spirit. We reject such doctrines as baptismal regeneration, the keeping of the sacraments and are adamantly opposed to all tenets of Calvinism.

We believe in the eternal salvation of all believers. Once a person trusts in Christ, they are forever kept by the power of God and can never be lost. Salvation is truly everlasting life. However, those who have trusted Christ are His and will obey Him and His Word. We do not believe a person can live any way they so desire and be saved. The Bible dogmatically declares that a person will be a new creature in Christ.

We are a Pastor-Led congregation that puts trust in the Pastoral leadership.  We do not blindly follow a man, but we do submit to Pastoral authority as it is line with the teachings of the Word of God.  While important decisions in the life of the church are brought before the congregation, the Pastor, and his appointed staff, are the visionaries and will make all final judgment calls as led by the Lord as to the best interest of the church.  We will not support a dictatorship, but we do strongly believe in Biblical Leadership.  Voting over every issue is a man-made tradition and is not contained in the New Testament record for the local church. Shepherds lead, and sheep follow.  This is both Scriptural and healthy in a growing church.
